Abstract

1366622 Proventing occurrence of critical conditions N L INDUSTRIES Inc 12 Jan 1973 1820/73 Heading G6R [Also in Division B4] A shipping container, shown in cross-section, comprises space for seven boiling water reactor fuel elements 64 which are retained in position by spacer means 66 formed of a suitable Al alloy which serves as a heat conductor and also to absorb neutrons to provide criticality control during shipment. The spacer means 66 extends the full length of the fuel elements and is suitably fastened in place. The phantom lines in the Figure indicate three pressurized water reactor fuel elements 70 which can alternatively be transported, with a different spacer means being employed.
